A Terrible Surgical Operation.
A FATAL MISTAKE.

A fAIAL MIS- AMI.
The Cleueland (Ohio) Press, of
February Esd, 1883, published an
account Of a fatal surgical opera
ton which caused a great COM
motion among medical men
throughout the whole country,
DR., Thayer, the most eminentsur-
geon in Cleveland, pronouncing
it scandalous. 1t appears that a
Mrs. King had been suffering for
many years from some disease of
the stomach, which had resisted
the treatment of all the physic-
ians in attendance. The disease
commenced with aslight derange-
ment of the digestion, with a poor
appetite, followed by a peculiar
indescribable distress in the stom-
ach, a feeling that has been de-
scribed as faint " all gone" sem
sation, a sticky slime collecting
about the teeth, causing q disa-
greeable taste. This sensation
was not removed by food, but,
on the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and feet
became cold and sticky-a cold
perspiration. There was a con-
slant tired and languid feeling.
Then followed q dreadful nerv-
BUSINESS, with gloomy forebod-
ings. Finally the patient was
unable to retain any food what
ever, and there was constant
pain in the abdomen. All pre-
scribed remedies failing to give
relief, a consultation was held,
when it was decided that the
patient had a cancer in the stom-
ach, and in order to save the
patients life an operation was
justiiable. Accordingly, on the
22d of February, 1883, the OPP
GRAFTON was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consisted
in laying open the cavity of the
abdomen and exposing the stom-
ach and bowels. When this had
been done an examination of the
organs was made, but to the hor-
ror and dismay of the doctors
there was no cancer to be found.
The patient did not have a can
Ger. When too late the medical
men discovered that they had
made a terrible mistake but
they sewed the parts together
and dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it must
be for the husband of this poor
woman to know that his wife
died from the effects of a sur
gical operation that ought never
to have been performed. If this
woman had taken the proper
remedy for Dyspepsia and Ner-
vous Prostitution (for this was
what the disease really was she
would have been living to-day,
SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, OR
SEIGEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, a rem
edy made expressly for Dyspep-
STA or Indigestion, has restored
many such cases to perfect health
after all other kinds of treatment
have failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

Benefit of Rapid Work.

The rapid worker has not time to
get disguised with his work-it is out
of his hands long before it grows weari-
some. Disgust is the product of david
ling effort. If the work be somewhat
varied, the pleasure in connection with
its completion is varied too. Hence,
perhaps, the reason why the total and
sudden giving up of work is often at
tended with evil results. The transi-
ton from a life full of activity, and
rich in the enjoyment of successful la
Dor, to life of utter idleness, with no
such vivid enjoyment. has often proved
fatal. There is too little activity in
the new life, and too little of the pleas
ure of activity. Idleness without the
excitement and pleasure of work, be-
comes depressing. The vital forces
droop and decay On the other hand,
to the busy worker rest and recreation
have double relish. No holiday is so
refreshing as that in which he runs
away from his labors, and enjoys him
self in quite different sense. If his
life were a succession OF holidays it
would soon grow burdensome.-farns

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
AN OLD STORY.

There is story that have been told,
And it's just as old as babies are old;
For sweet Mother 1--we, as every one knows,
Told u, her babies the tale of the toes
Told to her babies how ten little toes,
Each one as pink as the pinllest pink rose,
Once on time were naughty and Dad,
And sorrow and trouble in consequence had;
How the big toe wanted butter and bread
After his mamma had put him to bed;
And this lying next said: IS posen we go
Down to the pantTe and get it, you know
And this wicked toe cried: Come along, quick
Let's sugar the butter ever so thick
And this naughty toe said Jelly for me
Top of the butter and sugar, you see
And this little toe cried: "Goody let's go;
Wen slip down the stairs so quiet and SLOW"
So ten robber toes, all tipped with red,
Stole silently out of their snowy white bed;
While this wicked toe, so Jolly and fat,
Helped nine naughty toes to pity pat-pat
Along the big hall, with pillars of white,
And down the back stairs devoid Of light.
Then this little toe got n terrible scare,
For he thought in the dark of grizzly bear.
And this little toe said: Nurse must be right
Bout gobbles and witches living at night"
And this little toe said: "a fox may be hid
In the hat-rack box right under the lid
And this little toe cried: "Dcarc me! oh,
Lions and tigers is coming, 1 know"
Then mamma came out with the beautiful
light,
Caught ten robber toes all ready for flight.
Yes, she caught and kissed those ten robber
toes
Till redder they were than any red rose.

SCAB IN POTATOES.
How to Exterminate the Destructive Worm
Which Cause 1t.

The cause of scab in potatoes is still
subject for dispute, and various theo-
ries are propounded, apparently with
intent to escape any admission of the
fact that it is a simple matter, and to
prove that it IS the work of some germ
or microbe, which it is now fashionable
to believe is at the bottom of all the
mischief done in the world. Some wears
ago the writer carefully investigated it,
and found, in his case at least, the wire
worm, not the elater larva, which is so
called, but a myriopod. known as iulus,
did the mischief. This animal-it is not
an insect-gnaws the skin of the potato
with its teeth and wounds the tender
cuticle, which then throws out new
matter and forms scab over the
wounds. The skin Of the potato only is
wounded, the flesh is not eaten into,
and, as with animal tissue, the wound
ed skin is soon scabhed over while the
deeper wounds remain open because the
skin is wholly destroyed. Thus the
wounds made by the white grub are deep
and wide, and the substance of the
potato being eaten away no scabs are
formed, because the scabs are really a
thickened growth of the skin, a callous,
as it may be termed, which grows from
the skin or bark of plant cuttings. 1t
is about five years since we described
how artificial scabs may be formed by
wounding the skin of half-grown pota-
toes with the point of a needle, and how
clean, perfect potatoes, were scabbed
when placed in Il jar of earth with a
number of the wire worms.
Now it is alleged that earth worms
do the mischief because scabby pota-
toes have been found in rich vegetable
soil where these worms abound. But
this is precisely the soil where
the wire worms abound and in
which scabby potatoes are most
abundant. A complete immunity
from these pests and from scab
may be secured by growing potatoes in
soil which has not been MANFRED or
pastured for some years, and is ma
nured only by artificial fertilizers. An
esteemed contemporary once ungener-
ously charged that this statement was
made with intent to boost up some
special kinds of fertilizer; but better
proof to the contrary can not be given
than to say that any mineral fertilizer
will have this result, by Offering no in
ducements to the wire worms, but
rather repelling them by the strong
pungent odor and poisonous qualities.
We have entirely avoided the damage
in this way, and by dipping the sets in
mixture of one part Paris green with
fifty parts OF plaster, thoroughly well
blended. M Y. Times.

Habits of the Whistler Duck.

Do you know why this duck is called
the Whistler? 1t flies so fast that it
makes its wings fairly whistle through
the air! The gunner, waiting in am
bush, can tell of its approach by the
shrill sound, and can get ready and
take his position before it comes within
gunshot.
This bird has many other names be-
sides the Whistler. Golden Eye, Great
Head and Spirit Duck are some of
them. The Indians gave it the last
name because it allows the hunter to
come very near it, and then before he
can twang his bow, the duck has van
ished below the water. This frightens
the superstitious Indian. He thinks
that such rapidity of motion can only
be due to magic, and shudders at the
thought that he has tried to shoot Il
spirit.
This bird has another strange habit.
1t builds its nest in the top of tall
dead tree, so old and worn that the
bark and branches have fallen off,
leaving only Il slippery pole. Nobody
knows how the tender young duck
lings get from the nest to the water.
Legend says that the mother bird car
ries her babies herself, holding them
by the bill, and supporting them by
her strong neck until she places them
safely in the water. No wonder that
the ignorant Indians think her an en-
chanted spirit.
When these birds are alarmed, they
make a strange note, which sounds
like the constantly recurring good
note of an old worn-out hurdy- gurdy
such one as is played by old women
at street corners, as is so weak with
long use that only the one good note
can be heard ut any distance.
The Whistler feeds on all sorts of
marine insects and small shell-fish,
and in some regions is so dainty as to
prefer salmon spawn above all other
food.-f'anny e. clifford, in 50. Nicbo-

Easily; cut down your DOCTORS bills. When
you lose your appetite, and become bilious
and constipated, and therefore low-spirited,
don't rush off TO the family physician for a
prescription, or, on the other hand, wait
until you are sick abed before doing any

and for twenty-five cents get supply OF DR..

unpleasant symptoms will disappear as if by
